Training camp is in full swing. Practices with the Jets coming up.

How we lookin' this season? We got a new QB, a new RB...what else is looking promising?

Let's talk about it this season.

HTTR

I don't know how to feel about this season. No Kirk. Outside of the trade, no other real drama. I should feel relief. But I am ambivalent. Gruden is still there and I'm not all the way confident in the new defensive coordinator.

and then it's usually goes the way i expect it to, mediocre at best. this year is no different Haha.

Areas of concern: O-line depth, secondary, and pass catcher health (is Josh Doctson a bust yet?)

But that D-line has potential to be truly special, Derrius Guice is destined to be a star, and I personally think Alex Smith is a little better than Cousins (probably a cooler dude around the locker room at least)

Does more talent equal more wins when your coach is Jay Gruden? Probably not. Ceiling is probably 9-7. Especially when you consider how brutal this schedule is. But I think they’ll be a more competitive team on both sides of the ball and a little more fun to watch. They should be able to move the ball.

Kurt was great at moving the ball up the field, hopefully Smith will make some damn touchdowns happen and not shit the bed in the red zone like the overpaid purple wonder.

but it's still Jay Gruden, so the playcalling will likely be terrible when it matters the most.

Because he’s finally got a stud running back and a totally capable quarterback. Conversely, pass catchers are iffy. So if there isn’t a lot of play action/bootlegs and he’s still so pass-happy and Guice isn’t getting double digit touches every game he’s gonna hear it.

I liked him as the QB, but damn is he a tool

>(probably a cooler dude
>around the locker room at least)

Has been very 'middle of the road' his first 4 years time to make something happen. We have the personnel on offense to make some noise. Guice, Smith, Reed (healthy) and Doctson (healthy) is pretty good. However, the secondary scares me though.

...except the secondary. Really worried about that.

Actually I think our pass catchers are sorta iffy too. I really like Doctson, but he's gotta be consistent. Reed's gotta stay healthy.

Look like Rob Kelley is on thin ice as the starter at tailback. I really hope that Guice is as good as advertised.

Really looking forward to seeing this D-Line in action. Looks like they are deep and talented. Our front 7 should be super solid. Just gotta hold up against the run.

Fuck aliens.

Why all of a sudden would Reed's body finally decide to hold up? It won't. Its really a shame too because he is a fantastic player, but he does nobody any good hurt on the sidelines.

Gruden really likes Fat Rob. Guice and Kelly would be a nice one-two punch.

i like guice and smith, not sure about anything else.

I know how this story will end (no playoffs), and yet the amount of talent in the front 7, the running back, and the QB have me pretty enthused as much as I hate to admit

i know he said he's ok. i guess we'll find out what the MRI says.

i didn't see much of any of the game. i can't get hype for pre-season, and i'm not gonna hog the tv for an ultimate meaningless game. i'll save my tv hogging for the regular season so as not to piss everyone off for an extra month before things get started.

but how'd we look? who showed something worth talking about?

He’s adamant he’s ok and he walked off fine and was upright sturdy on the sideline. I think he’d play through in a meaningful game.

He looked great in the short work he received.

Hell Byron Marshall did too.

I think team keeps as many as four backs:
Guice
Marshall
Kelley
possibly Perine (though my hunch is they keep three and he’s odd man out)

Fucking fuck.


#changethename

Not to say that they were gonna be good anyway. But damn....hard luck out there.

I guess it's fat Rob and Perine again this year....

Heard they got banged up pretty good last season. The priority this year should be health along the trenches.

This bout to be a long season already. I can feel it.

I feel like Gruden's teams are always a little bit talented but unprepared and injured a whole lot. What is up with these injuries? I can't remember the last time Washington had a relatively healthy team.

I've wanted Gruden gone for the longest just because of the lack of discipline this team displays.

i sure hope they play well, lord knows we need better a better secondary.

Didn't even know we had Orlando Scandrick. Totally forgot that we didn't resign TP, but didn't really pay enough attention to them last season since I couldn't catch many games.

and TP was hot gahbage last year. stone hands, couldn't catch shit. glad to be rid of him.

I've really let my knowledge go.

Part sick of the owner.
Part sitting out most of last season with my man Kap.
Part who really gives a shit while the current ownership/coaching staff is in place.

But I'm gonna tune in a wee more this year.

I think I tuned into one game and Crowder was the most productive. Him and Vernon Davis.

Said the reason why he was let go was because they didn't like his outspokeness

i guess we'll see what happens.

He needs lots of carries and a running start to be most effective. And he don't catch. Not a Gruden type of back at all.

He's done.

This shakes up our already shaky backfield a little bit.

I don't see Gruden using him that much though.

HTTWFT

Well this is off to a wonderful start 🙄

Haha

when Jordan Reed is healthy...what in the world are you supposed to do with that?

It takes all kinds to make up a world, son. -My pops

I just live for the comments -Da wiz

Can't tell if Washington is actually decent (3rd Quarter was pretty sloppy) or Arizona just blows. Bradford certainly sucks...

it had to be said.

But seriously, while the Skins did Kirk a lil dirty over the years, you can see why they signed Smith. The team looked good--the only question is are they really good or is Ari just that bad...we shall see.

Can Chris Thompson, AP, and Reed ALL stay healthy? Seems far fetched

But man this offense has some potential

The chances of having all of them, or perhaps any of them, throughout the season are pretty slim.

I truly didn't expect this. Some of the worst Cardinal football since the Sun Devl Stadium era. Chris Thompson did absolute work. Props and salutations.

************************************************************

but at least they drafted a QB

He makes his reads, tries to move the defense with his eyes, and he throws, dumps or runs in short order. Refreshing to see actually.

Fuck aliens.

Let's go!

Either Alex didn’t want to throw anything deeper than 9 yards, or there weren’t available opportunities. What a trash offensive showing. And, I fear we saw the real Adrian Peterson today. A very winnable game that we never once looked eager to go win.

Proud of Skins fans today tho. Stadium looked half full, and those that were there looked to be half Colts fans. Way to make Snyder earn your money. Stay home until the team is legit. Next week we have the Packers, it’s gonna look like Lambeau East in there. GOOD.

And we're the mediocre team that we are expected to be. Last week was a fluke.

Chris Thompson definitely did. As our leading receiver 😒

>Alex didn’t want to throw anything deeper than 9 yards,

Best dude on that squad after Crowder (who is a dyed in the wool slot dude who couldn't even step up to being a #2 flanker) is rb Chris Thompson.

I'm rooting for Doctson, but he's gotta step up, and so far Richardson has been a pretty trash pickup who can't get separation.

the RB can do it, but not the WRs? wtf

First he was hurt. Then I figured give him a year to acclimate himself.

No excuses this year.

I guess they see what we do with the WRs.

wtf?

Second time they beat Green Bay in the last 3 years? Go figure

AP looked real good too.

Not sure the early bye will do us any favors as the season goes on. Gonna be a long time with no break.
